Sueño con serpientes [English translation]

I dream of serpents, of sea serpents,

About a certain sea, oh, of serpents I dream.

Long, transparent, and in their bellies they carry

Whatever they can snatch away from love.

Oh, I kill it, and a larger one appears.

Oh, with much more hell in its digestion.

I do not fit in its mouth; it tries to swallow me,

But it chokes on a clover of my temple.*

I think it is crazy; I give it a dove to chew on,

And I poison it with my kindness.

Oh, I kill it, and a larger one appears.

Oh, with much more hell in its digestion.

This one, finally, gobbles me down, and while I

Wander in its esophagus, I think about what will come.

But it destroys itself when I arrive in its stomach,

And I suggest a truth in verse to it.

Oh, I kill it, and a larger one appears.

Oh, with much more hell in its digestion.

Oh, I kill it, and a larger one appears.
